I remember when I was a child, a white porcelain pool bottom and a blue wave with a bleach smell, maybe plus a small floating board, was enough to fill the joy of the whole summer.
Now that I think about it, I was living a bit "simple" at that time, and I rubbed shoulders with the "sweetness" that life gave us for many years!
In fact, the comfortable time of the pool can not only appear in the summer; the combination of pool and water can also deduce a different style; watching the sunset in the pool water that cannot be seen at a glance, overlooking the city from the high-altitude transparent glass pool, soaking in the floating pool in the lake and being neighbors with small fish...
Wait a minute, flip down these 15 pools with magical powers!
